For years I thought the goal of a podcast was listeners. More downloads. More subscribers. More reach. And don't get me wrong... I love seeing the numbers grow. But eventually I realized something important: Listeners aren't the goal. Conversations are. Because listeners can love your show and never take another step. They can listen every week and never join your community. Never subscribe. Never become a client. Never even tell you they're there. What changed everything for me was connecting my podcast to the rest of my ecosystem. Over the last 30 days I've welcomed: 💜 470 new Substack subscribers 💜 100 new community members 💜 15 new paying clients Not because I suddenly got more downloads. (I've had over 1.1 million of them) Because I got better at creating a path for listeners who wanted more. That's the part nobody talks about. The podcast isn't the destination. It's the beginning of the relationship. The real question isn't: "How do I get more listeners?" The real question is: "What do I want my podcast to do for my business?" 💜 Attract clients? 💙 Build community? 💜 Sell products? 💙 Create partnerships? Because each of those requires a different strategy. That's exactly why I'm hosting the Podcast Profit Path Finder Challenge.

Tonight I would like to ask you… what is the biggest “what if” in your mind right now? ❤️

If your Skool group isn’t growing, the reason is often already visible. Quick follow-up for Skool owners here 👋 Recently I shared Skool Check — a focused About page review that answers one question only: Would a real visitor confidently click “Join Group”? I’ve now completed 5 real, public reviews across very different Skool groups — and a clear pattern is emerging: 👉 Most About pages don’t lose joins because they’re bad 👉 They lose joins because one small thing isn’t clear I’m opening 5 more free reviews to round this out to 10 solid examples. What you get (free): - Scores across 5 join-decision signals - The single biggest hesitation stopping joins - One highest-impact fix - A clear verdict: Converts / Leaky / Doesn’t Convert Why public? Reviews live inside Skool Check as examples — which also means extra visibility for your group to other Skool owners and it makes a great resource for people new to building Skool groups to learn. Best fit: - Live Skool groups - Finished About pages (not drafts) - Owners who want clarity, not fluff ✅ To submit: Comment with your About page URL. By commenting, you’re confirming you’re okay with a public review and it being used as an example. Taking the first 5 that fit, so don't hesitate. (If you’re planning to tighten your About page in the New Year , Skool Check makes an awesome “before” snapshot and gives you a starting point). Thanks to those people who already offered to take part I appreciate it and your reviews are inside Skool Check - Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 🎉 Example below ⬇️
